The basic principle of sealing is straightforward – the flexible lip is held against the rotating part (usually the shaft) whilst the casing (or O.D.) is pressed into the housing or bore and holds the seal in place. The sealing lip needs some form of lubrication to avoid overheating and is usually energized by means of a garter spring.
- Additionally, LS1 spark plug wires are often designed to be resistant to electromagnetic interference. This means that they are shielded from outside electrical signals, ensuring that the spark plugs receive a clean and consistent spark every time. This is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.

The 40mm rubber gasket is a versatile sealing solution that is commonly used in plumbing systems, automotive engines, hydraulic systems, and other machinery where a tight seal is required. Made from high-quality rubber materials, these gaskets are designed to withstand high temperatures, pressure, and chemicals, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

• Quick response (centrifugal hydraulic pressure canceling mechanism) throughout the rotation range
Elring supplies liquid sealants, head gaskets and also oil seals. The extensive range almost always offers a solution for an engine block and quality is can’t be missed in Elring's product range.
Hydrogenated Nitrile/Highly saturated Nitrile
Polyacrylate
Better heat, oil and chemical resistance than NBR
It is recommended for use in oil which contains load bearing additives such as EP gear oils
As earlier said, oil seals perform some functions that ensure the functionality of mechanical equipment and extend their lifespan. And how they do this is by retaining lubricants at all cost and not making them escape no matter how high the pressure of the machine is.
